White water rafting at the National Water Sports Centre is an experience like no other. It delivers unforgettable fun, lifelong memories, and an incredible feeling of exploration while never being too far from changing rooms, showers, and a café.
Our raft guides are experts in meeting your needs, whether you’re looking for thrills, spills, and adrenaline or a gentler time on the water they’ll work with you to make sure the experience is pitched to your comfort.
Our man-made rapids channel the mighty River Trent through 700 meters of world-class white-water features, while removing most of the hazards we’d usually find lurking under the water. To keep you safe, our guests are kitted with safety equipment from one of the UK’s top paddlesport designers.
The unique twists, turns and drops of our rapids make the perfect day out for first times and seasoned adventurers alike, right in the heart of Nottinghamshire.
